Chapter 82

Juyang County is located in the southwest of Zizhen City, a small county town surrounded by mountains.

Because it is rich in fungi and tea, it always attracts many people to enter the mountains to collect mountain goods every year.

Of course, the good forest resources also meant that there were many wild animals in the mountains. In that era when management in this regard was not strict, the profession of hunter still existed in the mountains.

There were also some rich people from the city who came to the mountains to hunt for excitement.

Zhang Shaojie was one of the fanatics!

Early this morning, Zhang Shaojie and a few lackeys drove a brand-new Toyota LC100 Land Cruiser, speeding towards Moshan Town in Juyang County.

He had already made an appointment with the nouveau riche Mo Jiasheng in the town. This Mo Jiasheng had a mine in Moshan, and according to him, the mountains within a radius of a hundred miles were all contracted by him. After getting to know Zhang Shaojie, he knew that he liked hunting, so he invited him to come to the mountains to have fun after the spring.

The journey of more than a hundred kilometers was mostly mountain roads, so it was almost noon when they arrived at Moshan.

Zhang Shaojie was eager to play, so he refused the banquet prepared by Mo Jiasheng and entered the mountains accompanied by Mo Jiasheng.

At the same time, Ling Wei and Old Feng also arrived at Moshan Town.

Later, when Ling Wei was brought back to the newly opened Snow Wolf Valley by Zhang Shaojie, Zhang Shaojie said personally that his life was saved by Ling Wei, and Ling Wei would be his own brother from now on.

As for the specifics, Zhang Shaojie mentioned it briefly, saying that he was having too much fun hunting that day and accidentally went deep into the mountains and got separated from others. Later, he met Ling Wei, who was picking herbs in the deep mountains. He only said that Ling Wei's marksmanship and skills were good, and if it had been someone else that day, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back!

Since the boss didn't want to say, others didn't dare to ask again. Everyone understood in their hearts that it was probably that this master had made some embarrassing mistake that he was too embarrassed to talk about, but he couldn't lie in front of his savior, so he could only mumble and muddle through!

However, Ling Wei also thought that Zhang Shaojie had a big family and a big business, and if he hung out with him, maybe he could really have a day of returning home in glory. So he explained his thoughts to Old Feng, and the two parted ways from then on.

Not long after coming to Zizhen City with Zhang Shaojie, it was only about half a year, Zhang Shaojie did one thing that completely moved Ling Wei, so much so that Ling Wei decided to work for Zhang Shaojie from then on!

Zhang Shaojie took him back to his hometown in Longxi by car. After arriving home, the imposing two-story building and the spacious courtyard made Ling Wei dumbfounded!

And when his parents and brothers, with joyful faces, surrounded him like welcoming a great hero, he realized that Zhang Shaojie had secretly paid for someone to build this two-story western-style building for his family in his name.

This immediately made the Ling family proud in the village, and Ling Wei also became a big shot in the village!

Zhang Shaojie gave Ling Wei enough face, allowing him to "return home in glory."

Ling Wei, who already admired the loyalty of the world of martial arts, was conquered by Zhang Shaojie's generous move, and even more so, he felt a sense of gratitude for Zhang Shaojie's kindness of appreciation.

Enthusiastic and simple, how could he understand the real world of martial arts?

He didn't know that Zhang Shaojie treated him this way not only to repay his life-saving grace, but also because he valued his skills and his simple personality.

After that, Zhang Shaojie often took him into the mountains to hunt, and in his spare time, he took him to bars and restaurants. After a long time, Ling Wei felt uneasy—the boss spent so much money, wouldn't it just be to invite him back to eat, drink, and play with him?

Finally, when he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask Zhang Shaojie, Zhang Shaojie laughed loudly and said: "A-Wei, I said it before, you are my own brother, mine is yours, what I can enjoy, you must also enjoy! Look, isn't that how I live every day? So you are the same, is there any problem with this?"

When Zhang Shaojie said this, Ling Wei felt even more uneasy! After he repeatedly expressed that he wanted to do something for Zhang Shaojie, Zhang Shaojie seemed to have made a great decision before saying a few words to him: My business has both white and black, but no matter what business it is, as long as you do it well, it will inevitably touch the interests of others. I don't want you to get involved like me and bear these troubles and risks. You still have parents to honor, so you just enjoy yourself with me, and don't interfere with the rest!

It must be said that Zhang Shaojie's grasp of Ling Wei's psychology and personality was very precise. These words of his instead further aroused Ling Wei's idea of wanting to help him. So during a hunt, Zhang Shaojie looked at a wild rabbit in the grass in the distance and said: "A-Wei, look at that rabbit, I want to hit it, but at this distance, I obviously can't do it, but I want to hit it, can you help me?"

After Ling Wei heard his words, he didn't say a word, raised his gun, aimed, and fired! With a "Bang!", the wild rabbit fell to the ground in response!

"I am your shadow, Brother Jie, if there is anything inconvenient for you to handle, just leave it to me! I have other brothers at home, and I am not the only filial son in front of my father and mother! But Brother Jie, you are my only big brother!"

Zhang Shaojie was moved to tears. Since then, Ling Wei slowly faded from Zhang Shaojie's side and would only appear when going hunting. Over time, even Zhang Shaojie's lackeys thought that Ling Wei was just a hunting companion with better marksmanship, and didn't know that he had become Zhang Shaojie's "shadow"!

And that day, when he received Zhang Shaojie's first important task, Ling Wei was in a panic for a while. After all, killing someone was not a small matter! Maybe this hidden weapon of his would be useless once it was fired! But he felt that this was his destiny. Since Zhang Shaojie had arranged for him to do this, he had no way out! Unless he could abandon everything!

But he couldn't! Being too emotional and taking on too much responsibility was his strength as well as his weakness!

That day, under Zhang Shaojie's arrangement, after he successfully killed the man in the luxury car, he drove to the riverside, threw away the motorcycle, gun, and helmet, put on a cotton-padded jacket, and swaggered back to the two-bedroom apartment in this ordinary residential area in the city.

This was a safe house arranged for him by Zhang Shaojie. According to Zhang Shaojie, only he knew about the existence of this place. According to what Zhang Shaojie told him, he would arrange for him to go out after the wind died down. At this time, it was not good to go out just after something happened.

Later, he learned from the news that the person he killed at that time was not Chang Huazhong, but a scapegoat! He was thinking about killing again, but Zhang Shaojie, for the sake of safety, did not let him contact him actively. Without his consent, it meant that he had no hot weapons in his hands. If he wanted to snipe Chang Huazhong, he had to find a way himself!

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Ling Wei put on his coat, took out a woolen hat and put it on his head, and raised the collar of his coat to hide half of his face in the shadows. He vigilantly looked outside through the peephole. Seeing that there was no one in the hallway at this time, he opened the door and went out.

This residential area had only one main gate, and people and cars entered and exited from here. Ling Wei walked out of the gate generously and walked more than 100 meters to the right, turning into an alley where there were restaurants on both sides of the road.

And at the same time he entered the alley, a group of four young men in different clothes entered the courtyard where Ling Wei lived, not far from each other.
